MANHATTAN, New York City (WABC) -- For many New Yorkers, Monday was the first day back to work following the holiday break, and for a swath of commuters, it was also the first time they paid the new congestion pricing toll to enter Manhattan below 60th Street.
On Monday, Gov. Kathy Hochul vowed to closely study congestion pricing data, and make changes to the program, if needed.
"I am committed and the MTA is committed to intensely monitoring the trends, and if adjustments are necessary, to be willing to make those going forward," she said.
"Traffic is down today," but Hochul noted it is also snowing. "Today is the first day. I wouldn't count today, let's give it a few days to sink in and get a trend."
Anthony Johnson has more on the impact of congestion pricing on New Jersey drivers entering Manhattan.
New York City's new congestion pricing toll began on Sunday, meaning many people will pay $9 to access the busiest part of the Big Apple during peak hours.
The toll is meant to reduce traffic gridlock in the densely packed city while raising money to help fix its ailing public transit infrastructure.
